offering, and
the holocaust or burnt offering, which he was to offer at his cleansing,
signify the sacrifice of a contrite and humble heart, and that of
adoration in spirit and truth, with gratitude and thankfulness, for the
forgiveness of sins, with which we are ever to appear before the
Almighty. The touching the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and
the great toe of the right foot, first with the blood of the victim, and
then with the remainder of the oil, which had been sprinkled seven times
before the Lord, signify the application of the blood of Christ, and the
unction of the sevenfold grace of the Holy Ghost; to the sinner's right
ear, that he may duly hearken to and obey the law of God; and to his
right hand and foot, that the works of his hands, and all the steps or
affections of his soul, signified by the feet, may be rightly directed
to God.

sacrifice, and a sextary of oil:

14:22. And two turtles or two young pigeons, of which one may be for
sin, and the other for a holocaust.

14:23. And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to
the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the
Lord.

14:24. And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary
of oil, shall elevate them together.

14:25. And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof
